ADAPTATION

After installation, GENIUS BLE 100 can start adapting. The LED for Assembly/Disassembly ****is already flashing, confirm the adaptation by pressing and holding the OK/SET button (3 seconds). The adaptation starts after confirmation. The device now adapts to the stroke of your valve body. To do this, the valve is now opened and closed several times to learn the respective endpoints. A running light is indicated by the LEDs. After successful adaptation, the GENIUS BLE 100 switches to normal operation and the LEDs indicate the setpoint temperature.
After approx. 5 seconds the thermostat switches to standby mode.

• If a new adaptation is necessary, e.g. if your radiator does not become cold in the OFF position, please select Assembly/Disassembly ****in the menu. Confirm with OK/SET (3 seconds) and start the adaptation again
• When the Assembly/Disassembly LED ****flashes again, place the GENIUS BLE 100 on the radiator valve and then briefly remove the batteries to reset.

DISASSEMBLY

To remove GENIUS BLE 100, press the MENU button on your controller. USE PLUS/MINUS to navigate to the menu item for Assembly/Disassembly ****and confirm with OK/SET. A running light is indicated by the LEDs. Wait briefly until the setting  LED flashes. Now turn the union nut counterclockwise and remove the GENIUS BLE 100 from the valve (Fig. 7).

TEMPERATURE SETTING

The temperature can be set as desired using the PLUS and MINUS buttons. The temperature is always increased or decreased in 1.5° steps.

GENIUS APP

To enable data exchange between the GENIUS BLE 100 and your smartphone or tablet, the following steps must be followed:

• Make sure your smartphone has Bluetooth enabled (requires the availability of Bluetooth 4.2).
• Download the free Eurotronic GENIUS app from the Google Play Store or App Store. Alternatively, scan the QR code with your smartphone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.eurotronic.geniusble
https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/eurotronic-genius/id1445429256?mt=8

When the app is installed, the operating system (Android) asks for permission to access the current location. This query must be answered with „YES“ to avoid errors during the Bluetooth connection.
NOTE: The information „current location“ is not required by the Eurotronic Genius app, but by the operating system for the Bluetooth connection.

NOTES:

• The following description refers to the Android app as an example. Minor deviations may occur during the operation of the iOS app.
• Please always use the latest version of the app from the Google Play Store or App Store. Some descriptions in this manual may differ with newer versions of the app.
• During operation, a Bluetooth connection must first be established to the device before an action can be performed.
  You will therefore notice a delayed response to your controls.

FURTHER FUNCTIONS

Window-open-detection: The GENIUS BLE100 automatically closes the heating valve to save energy if you open a window and the temperature thereby drops significantly. If window-open detection is active, the window-open detection LED lights up. The LED lights up until the set time has elapsed and the thermostat returns to normal mode.
Key lock: Please select the menu item Keylock in the menu. To do this, use PLUS/MINUS to navigate through the menu until the Keylock LED **lights up. Now confirm with OK/SET. Manual operation on the controller is now disabled.
To unlock the key lock, press and hold the MENU and OK/SET buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds.
NOTE:
While the key lock is active, the LED next to the key lock icon **lights up when an attempt is made to make changes to the thermostat.
When the key lock is unlocked, the Key Lock LED turns on and off briefly. The current temperature is then displayed via the illuminated LEDs.
When the batteries are charged, the key lock is deactivated.
Anti-freeze and anti-scale function: The anti-freeze and anti-scale functions are automatically active.
Anti-freeze function: If the temperature drops below 8°C, GENIUS BLE 100 opens the valve until the temperature rises above 8°C again. This prevents the radiators from freezing.
Anti-scale function: To prevent the radiator valves from scaling, GENIUS BLE 100 regularly carries out a scaling protection run.
Resetting: If you wish to reset the radiator controller to the factory settings, press and hold the PLUS/MINUS buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. A running light is indicated by the LEDs. After a successful reset, the LED for Assembly/Disassembly starts flashing.
The procedure is now the same as for initial commissioning. Now proceed as for the initial commissioning.
